<p class="p4">Past, present and future generations of black people are represented in this month’s variety of gatherings celebrating Black History Month.</p>
<p class="p4">Student Government Association (SGA) President Maame Mensah tells The Equinox that the Black Student Union (BSU) will be hosting a lot of different events, beginning with a “discussion about love” on Feb. 13.</p>
<p class="p4">She says to look out for an event called “Make Love Makes Sense.”</p>
<p class="p4">“It’s going to be around February since, you know, Valentine’s Day is coming up. Black Student Union is also hosting a lot of different events, too. We’re having an organization feud, which is basically like “Family Feud” but organization vs. organization. It’s going to be really fun,” she said.</p>
<p class="p4">The SGA put together several events for this February. Some of which include (but are not limited to) the empowerment of people of color:</p>
<p class="p4">“On the 27th,<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>we will have a mixer just so we can fully introduce Black Student Union to the student body<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>because this is the first semester that it’s on campus,” Mensah says. “Please come by, the more the merrier.”</p>
<p class="p4">The SGA is hard at work bringing these events to our campus, so do your best to drop by and show your support!</p>
